Del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Hits Netflix Friday as New Posters Boost Final Push

Del Toro reframes the tale as an intimate, craft-first character study about creation, forgiveness, authorship.

Overview

  • Netflix confirms the global streaming debut for Friday, November 7, at 3 a.m. ET/midnight PT following a limited theatrical run.
  • Netflix released two new character posters featuring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth in the final days before launch.
  • Jacob Elordi says he had complete liberty to shape the Creature’s movement and voice, drawing on butoh and extensive experimentation.
  • The Creature’s look relies on practical makeup and prosthetics with reported 10-hour sessions and a classical, ‘Adam’-inspired design rather than the 1931 archetype.
  • Early reception remains strong with widely positive reviews and high Rotten Tomatoes scores reported, underscoring awards-season positioning.
